Hot Stock Spam


No doubt many if not most folks have received at least one "hot new stock tip" spam. Ever wonder how much money you'd have made if you invested in those? Wonder no more:
http://www.spamstocktracker.com/

The webmaster of that site purchased an imaginary 1000 shares of every sock mentioned in a spam e-mail.

Bottom line (as of 5 oct 05):
Total Cash Outlay: $17,405.00
Total Current Value: $8,616.90
Net Profit: - ($8,788.10)

The data feed is automated, thus the figures are current.
